Universe at War: Earth Assault (RTS) - Tópico informativo - Patch 3 disponível

[gandalfnho]

e nada dele aparecer por aqui acho que vou acabar comprando na cduniverse mesmo.

Sendo distribuído pela Sega, no momento tem pouca chance de vir para cá (e se vier provavelmente vai demorar), então a melhor opção no momento acho que é importar mesmo (eu estou pensando em importar, só não sei se vai ser agora ou mais tarde, já que tenho alguns jogos um pouco mais antigos na lista também)

P. S. Já comprou nessa cduniverse?

Aqui ta vendendo no brasil, R$ 39,90. Já comprei nessa loja e recomendo.

[gandalfnho]

Eu comprei nessa loja também, mas foi antes de baixarem o preço...

[rgdl]

ok, patch 3 disponível... mas como consigo o patch? Pois comprei o meu no direct2drive (foi US$ 9,99 achei bem barato) e toda hora ele fecha com problema. Acho que talvez um patch desses resolva.

[gandalfnho]

Bem, como você adquiriu seu exemplar pelo D2D, primeiro olhe na parte de patches do serviço para ver se existe uma versão específica desse patch para distribuição digital. Se não houver, então pegue o patch normal (link no post inicial) e veja se funciona.

[rgdl]

Realmente não tem patch nenhum para versão digital no D2D, então vou tentar a versão normal mesmo.

Imagino eu que se não tem um patch para a versão digital é porque a versão normal deve servir.

Acho que o pior que pode acontecer é não funcionar ai eu instalo o jogo de novo.

inté+

[rgdl]

he! he! o patch normal instala na boa na versão digital, mas não resolve o bug do "UAWEA Launcher Error. Abnormal game exit detected." que aliás é um saco, pois muita gente nem consegue jogar por causa dele.

Fuçando na net achei no proprio site da petroglyph umas dicas para resolver o problema, está em inglês nessa página http://www.petroglyphgames.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7278.

Para quem tem preguiça de ler em inglês aqui vai a tradução (livre):

Universe at War e DirectX 10

Estamos a ouvindo comentários de que alguns jogadores estão tendo problemas ao executar o jogo no Vista, em DirectX 10. Se você ainda não fez, eu recomendo desativar o suporte a DirectX 10 nas opções de jogo do Universo at War até que essa aquestão seja resolvida. Aqui estão os passos, a partir do menu principal do UAW:

1) Clique em Opções, em seguida, VIDEO

2) Desmarque DirectX 10, clique em Aplicar.

3) Seja feliz!

Etapas para desativar DX10 se você estiver impossibilitado de fazê-lo no jogo.

1. Executar o "regedit"

2. Localizar a chave HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Petroglyph\UAWEA\Profile0\Player key.

3. Mude em "DX10Enabled" a entrada de 1 para 0.

4. Execute o UAW.

Universe at War - Running out of Memory (é aqui que vem o tal do "UAWEA Launcher Error. Abnormal game exit detected.")

O sintoma disto se manifesta de muitas maneiras diferentes. Uma das formas que temos visto é quando se inicia uma campanha single player ou scenario mission e, clicando no botão "Start Game", o jogo irá falhar. Há algumas coisas que você pode fazer para obter mais memória disponível para UAW.

* Reduzir o número de aplicações em execução em segundo plano enquanto joga UAW.

* Aumentar o tamanho do arquivo de paginação do Windows (memória virtual).

* No UAW nas opções de vídeo/opções Avançadas de Vídeo. Reduzir a barra das Texture and Particle detail.

* No UAW em Opções de Vídeo. Desligue DX10.

Eu fiz essa última e resolveu, consegui avançar no jogo e o "UAWEA Launcher Error. Abnormal game exit detected." não ocorre mais.

De qualquer maneira o jogo é bugado, não trabalha bem a memória, não trabalha bem o DirectX10 e o que é pior, depois do 3 patch nem sombra de solução dos problemas.

Agora é um jogo legal, mas na certa vai ser mais um daqueles jogos fantasticos que não fizeram sucesso por causa dos bugs.

[rgdl]

Bom, zerei o modo campanha. Depois de jogar o modo campanha e começar uma conquista ao mundo tenho algumas impressões a passar sobre o jogo.

Primeiro o jogo é bom mas não é espetacular, o modo campanha é legal mas até a campanha massari você não tem liberdade para traçar seu jogo.

No universe at war você segue linearmente as fases, como a maioria dos RTS, sem poder interferir até chegar na campanha massari, só aonde é apresentado um mapa mundi, com uma divisão político-geográfica própria, no qual você pode escolher aonde enviar seus generais. Nesse mapa você pode também equipar seus generais com as tropas necessárias para iniciar a campanha. Mas nem tudo são flores, a movimentação das unidades pelo mapa é muito lenta, muitas vezes você espera vários minutos até seu general chegar ao destino... honestamente cansa...

De qualquer modo a pergunta que se faz é?? porque esse mapa não estava presente desde o início do modo campanha?? teria sido muito mais legal do que seguir linearmente fase após fase.

Tudo bem que a proposta é apresentar facções alienígenas em guerra tendo a terra como palco, mas a porque não jogar com os humanos?? no modo campanha você até joga, duas ou três fases com os humanos, mas é mais para você se acostumar com a mecanica do jogo e servir de prelúdio para a introdução da facção Novus. Depois dai você não joga mais com os humanos nem no modo skirmish ou multiplayer.

Para quem se interessar por esse game ele está por US$ 4,99 na promoção do Wekend deal do Steam.

Como eu disse o jogo é bom, não é maravilhoso mas é bom e por US$ 4,99 (R$ 11,00) acho que vale a pena comprar.
